Your Florida Beach Vacation

Destin Beaches Voted Florida's Best

The beach at Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa is part of a stretch of coastline in South Walton that is considered one of the world’s most beautiful. For one, the sand is nearly pure quartz crystal, the result of the wearing down of the Appalachian Mountains over time. Almost blindingly white, it is soft, fluffy and looks like sugar.

The Gulf of Mexico here boasts some of the country’s clearest water. Its crystal clarity allows sunlight to penetrate, and when the light reflects off the sand at the bottom, the effect is water that is a gorgeous, emerald-green color. Also, the water is calm and warm, which makes our resort particularly popular with families. As does the fact that our sand is known to make wonderful castles and sand sculptures.

Hilton Sandestin Beach is the largest full-service beachfront resort on Northwest Florida's Gulf Coast, which puts us in a class above our competitors. Here, our guests can have their toes in the sand or the surf within minutes of leaving their rooms and suites. They can watch beach sunsets from their private balconies, as each guest room and suite offers full or partial Gulf views. Our Barefoot's Beachside Bar & Grill and the Sandbar are both beachfront, so our guests can dine and drink while gazing out at the Gulf.

Destin Beach Amenities and Activities

We can provide anything you might need for a great beach day – beach chairs, umbrellas, towels and sunscreen. We also offer kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, beach volleyball and beach bonfires. For a beach excursion off-property, check out the quiet and peaceful shores at Grayton Beach State Park and at Topsail Hill Preserve State Park, both nearby. Topsail Hill, for example, is home to more than three miles of secluded, unspoiled beach, plus dunes that are higher than 25 feet and three rare coastal dune lakes.
